IdleEye: Home Security Camera

IdleEye turns a spare phone into a private home security camera. Plug it in, point it at your door, your pet's favorite spot or the backyard, and watch live from any browser on your Wi‑Fi. Recordings stay on the device: no account, no cloud upload, no new hardware.

Remote viewing over the internet is not available. • Keep IdleEye open and plugged in on the camera phone; Guided Access keeps it running around the clock. • Events are saved to the timeline; IdleEye does not send push notifications. • The web dashboard is open to devices on your local network, so use a Wi‑Fi you trust. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Video, sound, recordings and settings stay on your phone. Uninstalling the app removes everything. IdleEye collects anonymous usage statistics to improve the app (never video, sound, recordings or network addresses), and you can turn them off any time in Settings. GREAT FOR Your entryway and living room, pets, a napping toddler's room while you're home, a garage, workshop or shop counter. 12 LANGUAGES The app and the browser dashboard speak 12 languages, including Arabic with a right-to-left layout. RESPONSIBLE USE IdleEye is for monitoring your own home and spaces. Record only where you have the right to, give notice where the law requires it, and follow local audio-recording laws. IdleEye is not an alarm, medical or baby-safety device. Questions? [email protected]
